Description
Steam dance. It started at a very slow pace. Each danced in his own character and in his own way beating off feet. The girl stood in one place, trying to turn her face away from the guy who walked around her, imitating a dove caring for a dove in spring. Then the pace of music accelerated, the guy began to step on the girl more energetically, dressing a variety of rings, trying to show his boldness. The girl was more affectionate towards her partner and no longer tried to leave him, and then walked towards him, shaking her hips, shoulders, gently waving her arms. Only sometimes in the finals a guy and a girl, holding hands, make several turns in a circle, it is even less common for a guy to hug a girl and spin with her. The dance ended with an imitation of intercourse. The dance, as a rule, ended in the middle of the circle with a mutual bow [4] [5] .
"Dove" was performed by the volostechniki [6] .
